Awhile back, my husband and I had the pleasure of obtaining tickets to a “live” taping of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. It was awesome and, as all Ellen fans know, audience participants get a free gift. After the taping, they get things like Rolex watches, PlayStation games, Cd’s, DVDs, Stereos, TVs, gift certificates, purses, etc.
Dave and I attended the taping (and, by the way, we did LOVE IT) and at the end, as they shuffled out out of the studio with cattle prods (literally, they were sticking people in the ass to get them out more quickly), we were lucky enough to get a fucking laundry back with the Ellen logo imprinted on it. YIPPPPEEEE!!!!
With disgust (yes, Dave and I are both greedy son’s-a-bitches and we were expecting something electronic or at least something of monetary value), we marched out of the studio (rubbing my ass that just got poked) and headed back home. During this time, we mutually decided that we would auction off the laundry bag on eBay and walk away with a small chunk of change. (cha-ching, cha-ching)
Now, when I say small, I meant something like $20 – $30. I DIDN’T mean ONE FUCKING DOLLAR!!!! But that’s what we got……… ONE FUCKING DOLLAR!!!
My husband, after drinking one night (surprise, surprise…) posted the Ellen laundry bag on eBay, for the online auction, but failed to define a minimum bid. He started the bidding at $1.00 and we waited. And we waited….and we waited…….and we waited some more……..for 7 bloody days. For some reason, under the impression that this bag would have been worth a hell of a lot more to some crazed Ellen fan, we found that during the entire 7 day stretch of online auctioning, we received ONE (1) BID and it was for a BUCK!!!
Then, when the bidding ended, we had to pay $2.50 to ship the bag!
Worst of all, when the “buyer” (a.k.a., Little Miss CHEAP ASS) received the bag two days later, she zinged us on our eBay Seller rating, gave us the lowest possible score and added a permanent comment that read, “Ad said perfect condition. Bag has a spot on it. Seller did not respond to email.”
BITCH!!!!! This bag cost me $2.50 to ship it to your sorry ass and you got it for ONE DOLLAR! Shut your mouth…….
